  • Polyacrylamide gel (PAAG) has been used for augmentation mammoplasty in certain countries, such as China or Eastern European countries. However, owing to various complications, its use is currently banned in most countries. Nevertheless, because of the migratory stream of female from these countries, we also encounter patients with PAAG mammoplasty in Korea. Owing to the various imaging features of PAAG mammoplasty, it may interfere with the identification of malignancy or other pathologic conditions. Therefore, it is important to identify the imaging findings related to PAAG mammoplasty. However, there is limited literature on the radiologic findings of complications related to PAAG mammoplasty in Korea. Herein we report four cases of PAAG mammoplasty, the complications faced, and depict various radiologic features through multimodality imaging.

  • A variety of medical devices have evolved throughout the years. Commonly used devices have typical radiological appearances which are familiar to radiologists. However, some new devices, as well as devices that are not commonly used, may be missed or misinterpreted by radiologists. It is even more difficult to identify a certain medical device with limited clinical history. Therefore, accurate identification of medical devices is crucial to diagnose malposition and potential complications. In this article, we provide a pictorial review of medical devices of the abdomen and pelvis according to classifications that include gastrointestinal devices, hepatobiliary devices, genitourinary devices, and miscellaneous. We also comprehensively review the clinical and radiologic features of complications related to these medical devices.
